Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11

TKR Team News

Trinbago Knight Riders brought back Sunil Narine and Ali Khan in place of Nikita Miller and Anderson Phillip in the first qualifier against Guyana Amazon Warriors and the duo will most probably be retained for this game. Narine failed to contribute much after being slotted back at the opening position which means we could see Colin Munro opening again with Brendon McCullum. We expect the Knight Riders to come up with an unchanged line-up.

TKR Key Players

Colin Munro has been the best batsman this CPL 2018 and he is undoubtedly the key man for Trinbago Knight Riders. He is the season's leading run-getter and he even struck an unbeaten 76 in the most recent encounter against the Patriots. Brendon McCullum, Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin are the others in this line-up who can make a significant impact with the bat. Sunil Narine can be a danger man with both bat and ball. On his day, he can add some quick runs with his attacking stroke-play and can be difficult to score off his off-spin in these conditions. Apart from him, the Knight Riders will also expect good bowling performances from Fawad Ahmed, Ali Khan and Dwayne Bravo. Fawad with 18 wickets in 11 matches is currently the most successful bowler of the season and the leg-spinner stands a good chance of pulling off something special here.

TKR Recent Form

Trinbago Knight Riders had won six of their last seven league matches to finish as the table toppers before stepping into the playoffs. They met Guyana Amazon Warriors in the first qualifier and ended up losing the match by two wickets. The Knight Riders had a rough day with the bat as they could muster only 122 while batting first. Their bowlers did well to keep them in the hunt but could not defend that total.

St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11

SNP Team News

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots made four changes to their side for their Eliminator game against Jamaica Tallawahs. They dropped Mahmudullah, Ibrahim Khaleel, Alzarri Joseph and Jeremiah Louis for Brandon King, Devon Thomas, Hayden Walsh and Carlos Brathwaite. While King, Thomas and Brathwaite are expected to be retained for this second qualifier, Walsh could be replaced by Sheldon Cottrell who has been one of their best bowlers this CPL.

SNP Key Players

Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Anton Devcich and Devon Thomas form the backbone of the team's batting and it will be crucial that at least one of them goes on to score big. Gayle has been their leading run-getter this CPL and the Patriots will be hoping that he returns to his explosive best. Devcich is coming off a 23-ball 50 against Jamaica Tallawahs while Lewis and Thomas both have a half-century against the Knight Riders. Ben Cutting, Sheldon Cottrell and Carlos Brathwaite have been the go-to bowlers for the Patriots this year. Cutting has been the pick of the lot with 12 wickets in 10 matches and the Australian allrounder will be expected to come up with a strong performance in this crunch game. Cottrell and Brathwaite both have 9 wickets apiece. They will probably open the bowling together and it will be mainly up to these two to provide the early breakthroughs.

SNP Recent Form

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots had finished fourth in the CPL 2018 standings with five wins and four losses from ten league encounters. Since their 46-run defeat at the hands of Trinbago Knight Riders, they have registered wins in their next three matches including the Eliminator against Jamaica Tallawahs. The Patriots would have been very pleased with their batting performance as they managed to chase down a stiff target of 192 set by the Tallawahs.
